Delhi-6 The true spirit of Delhi




First of all it’s not about the movie… but it’s about the culture of Delhi having “broad culture in narrow lanes”. When we talk about Delhi we imagine huge buildings, big cars and what not … but Delhi-6 is different and portrays the true culture of Delhi where you find people with big open hearts which makes the Delhi one of it’s kind…


Delhi-6 is actually also place where you can find big wholesale market for electrical good at Lajpat rai market, lenses in fatehpuri, shoes in Balli Marran …. Another striking feature of this place is the food you get there- the spice paranthas at parathe wali gali, icy chilled faluda at Giani’s and other stuff like chole kulche (that’s my personal favorite)…


But friends it’s not only about commodities food, here you find lively people who still care for neighbors, who still celebrate the joy of buying a new car, who still celebrate India’s cricket win with more than 50 people watching single 14” TV, there are still people eager to tell you the correct way when you are lost in those street… that’s what makes this place unique and which I believe to be the true spirit of any Delhite which somehow is burdened with hectic life and continues mobile rings….
